We provide a comprehensive service to companies, developers, investors and government bodies, advising them on developing projects, products and services relating to waste, recycling, renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Examples of our work include advising renewable energy companies on fund raising and flotations, private companies tendering for government projects, helping farmers looking to raise funds and diversify into biofuels, composting, anerobic digesters and wind farms, and assisting specialist trusts with portfolios of clean technology companies.
